2016 August Passive Income Review

August was not a good month for passive income. Compare to the second month of last quarter, passive income was about $50 less. I picked up 10 shares of VNQ this month but missed the opportunity to pick up more MYC.

Again, there was not much investment or blogging activity in August. My focus has shifted to an exciting and life changing event that I will share at a later time. Hopefully, I will have more opportunities to pick up more discounted stocks next month.

My strategy is to continue to invest conservatively in the stock market, but when I see a great deal, I will continue to buy. I am in it for the long run so when a stock reaches the 52 week low, I will snatch it up. Besides investing in the stock market, I am on a mission to pay down my mortgage aggressively this year and build up my Muni Bond Funds.
